Guest moomin300uk Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 (edited) Just A point I would like to make.... When the powers to be are removing threads I do believe they should have the decency to inform the effected members to why they have taken this action.. This is after all a members site For members Not the chosen few... And if The thread was distasteful that member would clearly know for next time... People should not be worrying about badly spelt or txt talk this is no Mr meaner and the deletion of none posting members, maybe there was a few in there that have tried to be apart of this site and have been shot down in the past And now may just want to read the posts, the way some people go on here jumping down folks throats for voicing a opinion is a bit OTT... Anyway this is my opinion and opinions are like arseholes we all have one... I hope certain people have noticed this has they seem to not answer there pms :whistle: Edited August 19, 2006 by moomin300uk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisJones 7,975 Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Any posts I've had to delete have had a PM to the person concerned. If I have to edit any posts I stick my initials in the offending post so that everyone knows who's done it. I try to be fair but I'm just as prone to mistakes as anyone else. I usually try and settle disputes via PM before any moderator action needs to be carried out but sometimes someone will post something completely moronic that warrants instant removal and this seems to be happening more and more recently. Some people are even joining up with stupid screenames that are just itching for deletion before they even get familiarised with the board. The purpose of moderating this board is to try and keep some sort of sanity here. Alot of people are complaining about freedom of speech being stifled at the moment but talking about illegal activity and harassing other members doesn't fall into that category. What people don't seem to realise that everything posted on this forum is cached by various search engines throughout the WWW. Words have consequences and legal action has been taken against members of other forums and these posters, who believe they're anonymous, have been slapped with fairly large fines for their troubles. We're simply trying to stop that happening here. Recent media coverage has seen an increase in traffic on this board. There are thousands of people visiting here with various motives as to why they're here. Some good, some bad, and some indifferent but we're ambassadors for all fieldsports and in this day and age what we say and do will dictate how we survive as sportsmen. I will continue to edit, delete or move posts/pictures to keep you safe from anything unsavoury down the road. I'll continue to do this until Ian feels I'm no longer capable or upto the job. If that upsets anyone then feel free to discuss it with the administrator. It's not personal I'm just trying to make sure that no one here ends up in the dock with pages of material, from various hunting sites, being used in evidence against them. The best way to stop this perceived encroachment on freedom of speech is not to post a pile of shite in the first place. It makes my life, the administrator's life, and that of the rest of the moderators collective lives, a helluva lot easier because we don't then have to spend all the extra time clearing it away. You all signed an agreement when you joined this forum. Terms and conditions. Any material that has been removed will be in direct contradiction of those rules. We are not removing material to appease the animal rights lobby. We are removing material to keep you lot on the right side of the law and to stop you incriminating yourselves and others that post here. If that doesn't sit too right then you're more than welcome to take the matter to the administrator or you could even start your own forum or move to another that caters more to your individual tastes. Yours In Sport CJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Because I tell you there was nothing remotly suspect in it... Rant over Happy hunting It's staff policy to PM the individual concerned when a thread is deleted. If you haven't been PM'd it's an error and it probably wasn't your post that was the cause for concern. Unfortunately I'm not aware of the thread in question which is probably why I haven't contacted you personally. If you're having a problem with the site in general PM any moderator and we'll do our best to help out. The problem is we've been really busy lately so forum etiquette has suffered over the need to deal with the journalists and the people that just have to talk about breaking the law! Please understand that any action taken isn't personal. There is no hidden agenda here on behalf of the moderators and the admin staff. You're not being accused of posting anything moronic but it's happening on a daily basis, with other members, and the moderators are doing everything we can to keep the quality of the forum as high as it can be. You want quality. You want better topics. We're trying to save those threads and remove the people/posts that are here purely on an argumentative basis. Thing is we're human and sometimes an entire thread gets tossed out because people can't just let things be. Is that my fault or is it because nothing is happening and no one has anything else to do except flame the board? Some people can't help themselves and feel the need to talk complete bollocks. Fine on it's own but when these posts edge on the wrong side of what is legally definable they will be removed with no exception. We're not perfect. We make mistakes but if all members were allowed to post as they wished with no consequence then this board would have been shut down a long time ago as some people just cannot keep their keyboards still. Members here refuse to regulate themselves and a small amount feel the need to talk complete and utter shite. These threads will be removed so apologies in advance if your comments happened to be tapped on to their threads. This forum cannot function without it's members but us moddies are tied up trawling through hundreds of posts looking for suspect material that some members just cannot help splattering up. If you want to return to quality and you enjoy reading quality threads then FFS help us out! Report people that are making dumbass suggestions and doing nothing constructive for the forum. It saves us trawling through all the shite and we can go back to answering your questions and your PM's. Help us police the place so that the journalists and messers will get bored and f**k off somewhere else. It's better for all if we're all watching each others backs, after all we're all here for the same reasons. You're either part of the solution or you're part of the problem Yours In Sport CJ Editted to add that I cannot find the thread, in question, either.

Obviously they are not impressed with what they have seen, nor are the majority of the genuine filedsportsmen that belong to that site, they are actualy fighting your corner, why feck knows :wacko: I agree, we do not need ememies like those that bring hunting into disrepute. Do you realy think that openly talking about killing badgers is a good thing? especially on a open forum. I know that mistakes are made and sometimes things dont go to plan, but from what i have read over the past year or so, there are those that seem to go out of thier way to run into these mistakes, it does our cause no good at all and it aint big and clever. I know that there will be those that will come back at me and try and stamp me down, but to be honest i realy couldnt give a feck, reason? you aint fieldsportsmen...... P.s nothing has been changed since a few hours ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bertie 0 Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 We all know mods have to delete threads from time to time, as part of being on these sites we should just accept it! How about we have a separate part of the forum though where all the deleted threads go, put on a warning that if anyone is easily offended not to click on to that part! Bet it would be the most viewed and most posted in part of the forum! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
